CHYBÍK + KRIŠTOF Opens Live Architecture Studio at Aedes to Develop Four Berlin Proposals
Aedes Architecture Forum will see the pro bono development of four sites, reimagined as a design studio by CHYBÍK + KRIŠTOF over a six-week period. The exhibition titled Building the Existing City is scheduled to take place from October 23 to December 3, 2026, culminating in presentations focused on architectural and urban design. The initiative, 4 Transformations for Berlin, welcomed nominations from September 11 to October 11, 2026, inviting various stakeholders to suggest sites for redevelopment. Founded in 2010 by Ondřej Chybík and Michal Krištof, the firm operates in Prague, Brno, Bratislava, and London. Simultaneously, exhibitions in Montreal, Shanghai, and New York will explore themes related to urban design and architecture.
